Benefits of technology

The invention is about a washing machine that stops the tub from moving too much and reducing vibrations that can happen during a washing cycle. This helps to keep the machine running smoothly and prevents any vibrations from causing damage to the machine or affecting its performance.

Problems solved by technology

However, if laundry contained in the washing drum is abnormally distributed to one side to be excessively unsymmetrical, the precession of the washing drum deviates from a normal level to cause excessive vibrations of the tub.
In this case, due to a great displacement of the tub, the tub may collide with the cabinet despite cushioning of the suspension apparatus.
However, the method of widening the distance between the tub and the cabinet increases the size of the washing machine, and the method of attaching the cushion member on the inner wall of the cabinet requires a separate work process and increases the cost of materials.
